Go watch part 1 if you haven't seen it. czcams.com/video/kNovwPIWr3Q/video.html Thanks to all those who have shared their favorite non-american breakfasts. I want to keep inviting new breakfast traditions into my mornings. Maybe an update video is in store if I get some good suggestions.
Forgive me if I am wrong about this, I don't follow twitter or anything like that, but I haven't seen you do any Vox vids lately. Do you still work with them?
An update video would be awesome!
give us the recipe of hummus and flour tortilla pleaaaaaase
You should try stuffed parathas, they are amazing specially with a bit of butter on top or plain cold curd/yogurt.
For example :
Aloo Paratha ( paratha stuffed with potatoes)
Mash potatoes, add chopped oninon, ginger, some fresh cilantro and chopped green chilli. For some spices in the mix, consider red chilli powder, cilantro (dhaniya) powder and salt, mix it all up(you should be able to find all ingredients necessary at an Indian store). Stuff the mix in wheat flour flattened like tortilla, and and roll the mix filled ball of flour flat, heat a pan, and cook with a bit of oil/ghee (preferably ghee).
You can do the same with cauliflower and raddish, which are one of the most popular breakfasts in India. There are many more but are far too complicated to present on top of my head.
Johnny try to look for "Colombian Tamal" for breakfast, it is a salty rice with a bunch of delicious thing on it :)
Try the Portuguese breakfast: a cigarette, an espresso and an existential crisis.
Edit: it seems that this a universal breakfast and that warms my heart to know.
Sounds pretty French too
Add a rissol to that
😅😢😅
Sounds like a college student breakfast in a lot of countries
And cocaina
Pigeon’s breakfast: A sip of water and a quick look around.
Guess I’m a pigeon
I really enjoyed this comment
A cup of coffee and a quick look around.
A quick sip of coffee and whatever is dead on the road
lol
Shakshuka is my personal favorite for breakfast. Poched eggs in a tomato/onion gravy with pita bread and hummus. Just amazing food.
As a non mexican I agree 😅
same here... even Çılbır
I eat thaf for dinner!
Years later, and this video is still influencing my breakfast eating habits. Apparently, I just needed someone to "give me permission" to not eat cereal for breakfast anymore (I grew up in a household where cereal was basically the only thing you COULD eat for breakfast. That and day old pizza). Now I eat oatmeal, chia seed pudding, or fried cabbage with meatballs. Or I just eat leftovers from the day before.
This guy: *actually makes rice properly*
Asians: oh thank fuck
There are better ways
@@InADarkTavern but it's still a solid way to cook rice.. a convenient one as well
I really don't give a shit and I hate people that do. It's fucking rice.
@@InADarkTavern go watch Uncle Roger.
Ww2 is over, use technology!
@@fireblast133 I put rice in a big pot with a little bit of oil and salt, then boil it until it’s cooked. It’s good because at the bottom there will be a crispy layer we call tahdig. I judge the rice by that crispy layer, you should try it
Try the scandinavian breakfast: black coffee, snus and depression
Go walk in the woods
Sounds delicious, but can I afford it? 😬
@@hiphipjorge5755 I think we all already have the depression.
The depression is just the cold, bro. As a Nepali I can relate.

Non- Turkish person here: try traditional Turkish breakfast!
Very fresh ingredients like tomato, cucumber, olives, etc. on flatbread (special Turkish flat bread that I forget the name of! 😅 sorry!!) with tons of cheese and even meneman, tomato eggs! Really delicious! Plus Turkish coffee or tea, so good!
lavash is the flat bread
eat some simit with it too
I am Turkish and I totally agree!
Turkish bakery is top tier
Now I want Kahvalti...
When I took Latin in high school, my teacher taught us an actually fairly honest version of an ancient Roman breakfast - basically, bread with cheese and fruit on it. The upper classes would probably have some meat to add, the lower classes might just have the cheese, or maybe some olives or wine to dip it in if the bread was stale, but that basic - bread with cheese and fruit - has stayed with me as the Platonic ideal of breakfast.
Could u describe it more precisely like what kind of bread and cheese? Thanks :)
@@thinkwhatsyourlife5908 If I recall, it was a fairly hearty dark bread, maybe even rye, and cheddar. I doubt that was traditional, most likely the Romans would have had a salted brown bread and some type of goat cheese, maybe. Fruit was just grapes and/or apple.
Thanks a lot!
that just sounds like my breakfast lol
Watching this as a non-American is hilarious, it's like watching Americans discover America.
You'd be surprised how diverse america is culturally but how little the average american knows about worldwide food culture.
Thats what I thought

@@brennag7962 god is dead
He’s literally been having a life crisis for MONTHS about breakfast.
Bro, imagine eating the shit that people in the US eat, but all your life. Whilst it's a bit funny to see what Americans eat in general, I respect people, like Johnny, who are willing to broaden their horizons, enjoy life more and try to make other people see it. Spread the word about decent food, people, come on.
@@klszwarc thank you. as an american reading about how john is flipping his shit over food - something that is REALLY fucking important - just makes see that a good majority of people around me are just fucking asleep

I mean, something you do every day and that has a great effect on how you feel, your mood and energy level is as good as anything to have a life crisis over.
That's because his body is starving for actual nutrition that his vegan/vegetarian diet has lacked. The salmon and the eggs in the Japanese breakfast are the healthiest things he's eaten in years. Look at his eyes.
My breakfast world changed when I started looking at oats as a blank canvas. My current favorite breakfast is oatmeal topped with a fried egg, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and whatever veggies happen to be left over. Delicious, filling, and it's great for lunch, too.
Or that there is more then just oeats one can make porridge from. I like millet and I like putting vegetables into it while still eating it slightly sweet ^^
Sometimes I make some from parsnips without any grain...
If I want something savory I make congee or fried rice, or pastina, but there are many many ways to makes oats savory to if one likes ^^
@@arianewinter4266
Quinoa and rice is good too esp sprouted.
savory oats are such a game changer
you... you can eat SAVORY oatmeal???? help???? I think my entire world view has shifted
@@buttercuup02 You really can! I like it with various milled seeds/nuts mixed in, topped with frozen berries.

SOUTH INDIAN BREAKFAST MENU:
Monday: Pongal.
Tuesday: Vada with sambar.
Wednesday: Paniyaram+chutney.
Thursday: Idli+chutney.
Friday: Utappam.
Saturday: Idiyappam+chutney.
Sunday: Dosa+chutney.
You forgot Upma....😃
Rice based cake or crepe (those words are misleading but that's the closest translation) , savory vegetables in lentil stew/curry, and a bit of tang from da coconut to wake you up, pair it with a cup of chai with some cardamom, cloves, and ginger, and you're golden

This is the first video in human history where the word “lets talk about Israel/Palestine” was largely a wholesome discussion and didn’t result in a firestorm of comments.

LOL Hummus and Falafel should get the Nobel Peace Prize. They're the only things the whole of the middle east can stand behind. They're the elusive unicorns
What are you talking about? He totally baited. The hummus was the only breakfast food where he inserted political ideology, it very insidious of him.
As an Indian, I would recommend Paneer or egg Bhurji as a healthy breakfast option. It’s a south Asian alternative to scrambled eggs, and off course filled with spices, rather than just butter and cheese
not healthy.. lol
Here's a common Korean breakfast: scrambled eggs made with lots of butter (absolutely must not be overcooked) laid over steaming white rice and mixed with soy sauce and sesame oil. Simple and amazing.
Usually, Koreans did not have fried eggs on rice like the Japanese about two decades ago. Because Americans are so hyped up with salmonella in the news, Korean were suspicious of their egg sanitization and they compromised on fried eggs with yolk non-cooked.
Johnny should start a show called breakfast talk where he invites other people for some conversation and breakfast ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, it would be a very Vox style series!
I love the idea.

Cantonese breakfast: noodle.
“Aren’t noodles supposed to be for lunch or dinner?”
Noodle is for every meal.
Noodle is love, noodle is life!
A bowl of spicy noodle soup in the morning really wakes you up!
Exactly
trifecta of food for every meal: bread, rice and noodles
yeah fried vermicelli or noodles, paired with congee and you tiao, and we are ready to go for the day
Yes! Japanese breakfast is very good. Filling and easy on the stomach. The three keys are rice, FRESH miso soup, and Japanese pickles. Of course you can add seaweed, furikake, etc. not all Japanese do raw egg.
🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾Try the Malaysian breakfast, Nasi Lemak!! 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Basically its rice cooked using coconut milk, topped with spicy chillie paste we called 'sambal' + fried crunchy anchovies + peanuts +egg (fried or hard-boiled) + fresh cucumber. Thats the basic version. Of course you can add more stuffs to it, here we usually pair with fried chicken, curry chicken, squid, etc etc, whatever u want.
Whenever I came back to my frim overseas, I found myself craving for nasi lemak, haha
I agree. I'm American, but this is the real breakfast of champions. You can make it easily and bento box it to reheat every morning.
There is nothing in it with vitamins...Crucial for your health!
Oh god, nasi lemak ayam rendang. Thats the good stuff
I love nasi lemak, I’d like to eat nasi lemak for every single day 😂
Sounds amazing ☺️
Fellow asians watching this:
Yes. Rice is life. Rice is breakfast. Rice is lunch. Rice is dinner. Rice is life. Periodt. You can't have life without rice.
Edit: Noodles and Bread are included in the Asian diet, they are bomb and essential in my household too lol
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
You are a disgrace for your parents how dare you misspell period

Try the South Indian Dosa-Idli-Sambhar. The dosa is like a taco, only thinner, bigger and crunchier, and is made of lentil paste, so it is a good source of protein and fiber.
Dosa is more like a crepe not a taco
@@gameplayhyperdrive6444 oh yea, because u have to spread it on the tawa, instead of how you flatten a roti with a roller.
Chamanthi > Sambhar
And tastier 😂
Dosa is more like a savoury thin crusty pancake, with added spices and other stuffings, as one choses.
Try indian,
It's diverse from fulfilling to heavy, light to flavourful, spicy to spicy, and even easy to complex.
Vada pav, Chana bhatura, pav bhaji, prantha, idling sambar, vadda/dosa sambar, mustard mach(mustard fish) and many more
As an Asian person, I felt happy for you when you started eating rice, fish, egg, and soup for breakfast. It just makes sense. You've got your energy, protein, and nutrients. If I had a meal like yours in the morning, I'd be OK even if I skip lunch or have no other snacks because that is a loaded breakfast (loaded in a good way). And I've had really good fresh Hummus before (made by an Israeli guy who really loves his craft) and it is so damn good.
Bro I eat rice with noodles😂
As someone from Nepal,I'm encouraged to eat rice with everything cause RICE IS LIFEEEEEEEE
@@lalitthapa101 lol we too do that in indonesia
@@bintangdilangit3348 I don't know why people think its disgusting😤
Rice works good with everything and thats a *FACT*
@@lalitthapa101 maybe because noodle and rice is too much glycemic index which will resulted in too much sugar in the blood that 100% makes you diabetic

Was surprised to see Bengali comments what’s up brother
There is some sort of tomato and egg dish I ran across repeatedly in China; it was a little different from place to place, but every time I found it at the breakfast bar, it was delicious.
You should try Pongal, a South Indian Breakfast dish, made from rice and split green gram lentils with spices. You pressure cook them together (rice:lentil:water = 1:1:3) and then mash, then make the tadka, which is oil/ghee(clarified butter) fried with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dry red chilli, black peppers(whole), turmeric and coriander seed powder. Add the tadka to the mash and mix, you get the perfect breakfast dish
Upma is my top Indian Breakfast
I like idli sambar for breakfast. The best
I can’t do some of the spices or ghee but will adapt this and try for dinner. Thanks!
Life hack: sleep till noon so you don’t have to eat breakfast

Japan's egg "cleanliness" is literally just not washing the eggs after they're collected so they keep their natural coating that stops bacteria from entering the egg. Most of Europe does this as well.
It's funny how Americans attempts to sterilize things bites them in the ass. Instead of actually cleaning things the whole way, they half ass it which creates a bigger problem than if they just left it alone.
@@pluna3382 They also do't refrigerate them from day one...
Wow really? I never knew that
@@hakubohsii you don't need to refrigerate eggs
@@hakubohsii also eggs that has been refrigerated can't be taken out the fridge without risking bacteria
I have watched the previous video and this one so many times over the years, and I finally have the energy to do the shopping and cooking for non-shitty breakfast. All of my favorite savory ideas are super quick - this is a bit more involved but really worth it.
Dude is so passionate about breakfast I'm addicted to this series
Try the Asian diet:
Breakfast : Rice
Lunch: Rice
Dinner: Rice
I'm not kidding, this is usually what I eat each day, breakfast might be different sometimes, perhaps Nasi lemak, Nasi goreng or noodle instead
But basically for lunch and dinner, it's always rice, some protein, chicken/fish/beef with vegetables, usually cabbage and Mustard leave (Sawi)
Rice porridge for breakfast. It’s nicer than it might sound. Especially when you add an egg while it’s still hot
@@sissixiong6122 I can definitely agree with your statement
hello fellow singaporean/malaysian hahaha
@@sissixiong6122 imagine if an American have the privilege of eating Nasi Lemak for breakfast. They would be living the most of his life, even tho it is certainly the most unhealthy breakfast Malaysian-Indonesian had ever consumed in the morning
Relatable. But we eat bread in breakfast.
Vietnamese Pho soup is traditionnally a breakfast: it is filling and delicious, and a great way to start the day!
Pho is my favourite
Last time i eat pho, it taste overly cinnamony, and too much raw beansprout, the rice noodle have no chew to it, i dont know if that supposed to taste like that or i just have bad restaurant to have pho.
being a Malaysian,I am surprised I haven't eaten Pho before, Maybe I should try it in the future
Ich haiße ZV bad restaurant!
Love Vietnamese food..pho in the morning would be amazing breakfast
This is not a non-American breakfast per se, but while I was studying for the bar exam, I was told to play around with different meals that would keep me full and focused for long periods of time. I did so, and discovered that salmon and steamed broccoli was the best of the meals that I tried.
My grandma confused couscous for grits and she loved it... thank you for this, definitely going to try and expand my breakfast palate. I'm getting quite tired of oatmeal and grits.
I lived in Japan for 3 years and my wife is Japanese. Even a lot of Japanese people don't like the egg just raw like that. They mix the egg with the rice and stir it up. The rice (if not left sitting too long) should be hot enough to solidify the egg into egg pieces..... Okay I continued the video and that is what you ended up doing.. :)
In some Nordic pastries, such as Karelian pies, raw egg is beaten into *cold* rice (more correctly, rice porridge), but is then cooked.
I am worried about looking for a partner outside of my own country because I think I will be labeled with something, for example how often in your case do you get hit with the “foreign guy that marries a Japanese woman” criticism? What do you think about it?
@@ericktellez7632 just don't care what others think. I know many couples of different race, ethnicities and they live the best live. Just don't care what the small minority would think of you.

Poha ♥️
This one is the best
DOSA IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!( ALL WITH FILLING AND WITHOUT IT TOO)
My family tradition is Nicaraguan breakfast. I think Nicaraguans from all over have it different ways but the way we do it is with Gallo Pinto (rice and beans more or less but more toasted and crunchy), with fried egg, queso fresco (or crema), pico de gallo, a couple slices of avocado, and if you’re feeling up for it some fried sweet plantains with cheese. A lot of Central American countries have something similar.
The other Nica breakfast is Nacatamales which is usually Sunday breakfast. I’ll leave it up to you to look that one up.
Honestly my favorites but I’m obviously partial to them.
Mom of a 14 year old picky eater here to say THANK YOU Johnny. My son loves your videos (so do I). We are subscribed to your patreon & nebula tv…and he actually watches your vids almost daily for a self-directed homeschool program he is in. Anyways, he often shares his favourite videos of yours with me and today he shared this one. We’ve been trying to introduce to him foods from various cultures but he is always hesitant. After watching this, he is inspired to try different cuisines and I’m so excited to make him your three favourite breakfast dishes! He even ate loads of hummus for lunch. We love you and appreciate you.
Here’s a yummy breakfast share:
Grilled toast topped with…
Sliced avocado (sprinkled with sea salt & lemon pepper)
Turkey bacon (whole foods)
Fried egg
garnished with microgreens on top

South Indian breakfast
It might be a bit tough to make it on your own but man is it worth it!
Came to the comments section to say exactly this!
Dosa time 🤤
I prefer idly over dosas for breakfast. Same exact recipe except idlys are the steamed dumpling version of the dosa.
@@admisra shit!! Me too...
So true! I have honestly become a missionary to south indian food at this point. My goal is to get as many people to try it as I can.
Idk if this is standard for other Polish people, but I just eat sandwiches for breakfast. It’s usually two pieces of bread eaten separately with cheese/avocado/hummus spread on them. Then I drink a wheat coffee
I'm Australian, but my family is Maltese. You should definitely try Pastizzi, it's basically a ricotta filled pastry. Another favourite of mine is Froga Tat-Tarja, which is basically a pasta omelette.

Indian : Dosa - thin south Indian pancake made from fermented lentils and rice blended with water, typically served with chutney. Super refreshing & filling in the morning
Dosa's more a teatime snack. Really, vadapongal/pongal-vadai is more breakfast food. Seriously, that shit is good breakfast, though not my preferred.
@@MrGksarathy pongal is awesome, yes but what drugs are you taking to say that Dosa is a tea time snack? 😂 It is one of the quintessential breakfast item dude
@@MrGksarathy dosa is THE breakfast, vada is the teatime snack. nobody eats pongal for breakfast unless they want to sleep forever
Tamilian here, to clarify it's actually Thosai, and yes it is a breakfast food. We also often have it for dinner. I have never heard of Thosai being a tea time snack, doesn't really make sense to me
@@MrGksarathy dosa is a snack in the north... Largely a breakfast or a dinner item here in the south... Kinda like how some people here down south eat pav bhaji and chola for snacks...
Turkish breakfast is one of my favourite because you can alter it but staples are cheese , olives, tomato, cucumber, eggs and fresh bread, and this can get larger ex. Honey and cream, jams, pepper pastes, dried fruit and nut, tahini and molasses dip, baked pastry with different filling such as cheese, spinach meat etc. Amd of course, a pot of tea or a small coffee at the end. Turkish people take breakfast very seriously and sometimes a brunch meetup can last hours. Its so filling but nutritious that you end up not feeling hungry for hours, especially if you eat slowly and eat just a bit of everything
Very late comment, but a breakfast I have is an omelette with onions, spices, chilies. I place cheese in the center and fold it, and enjoy it on lightly toasted bread. Pretty heavy, but filling and tasty!
Slovak Breakfast: "Turek" coffee (ground coffee beans poured with boiling water) and cigarette

So my parents are both Mexican and I’m not entirely sure if this is a widespread thing or if it is known by only a few people but my family will have arroz rojo with an overeasy egg on top(maybe two if the eggs are small) but yea really creamy and honestly amazing, we may eat it with some queso fresco, beans, avocado, nopales, really any leftovers 😆
Edit: Tortillas are required to eat this 😉
“Might have”? Tortillas are always present my friend 👍

Yay! Just watched the american breakfast food before and I'm so happy you tried a middle eastern-styled breakfast! I'm assyrian-iraqi and I grew up eating hummus and pita with eggs for breakfast. If you want to try another super easy alternative to hummus (if you get bored but that might be hard LOL) my favourite is some plain yogurt thats topped with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and zaatar (you can find this at any middle eastern store and i think some general grocery stores are selling it now too). Just dip your favourite bread in it and its so yummy and simple :)
I don't think I've ever respected a creator more than when you talked about breakfast tacos
And seriously if you come to Austin you could spend entire days going to different taco trucks and just enjoying life
ok i *know* avocado toast is already a thing slash """the reason millennials can't buy houses""" in the US but... here in chile we often have bread with avocado for breakfast but the key is to mash the avocado with a touch of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and salt until it's really creamy on a plate BEFORE you put it on the bread. *chef's kiss*
Lori Thomas Scott this sounds delicious, I’ll try it tomorrow.
It may be made fun of in the states, but honestly as someone who really could never stand breakfast, avocado toast was probably the first breakfast items I had that I properly enjoyed and felt good about eating. I definitely wanna try your version of it, never thought of adding olive oil.
i always mash it up before because i find it easier to just scoop out an avocado then trying to slice it lol
amo la plata, pero en Argentina es tan cara :(((
Mexican American here, we've been eating avocado regularly forever, but it started showing up on certain (hipster) restaurants for $10-15 and became more mainstream all of a sudden. Then people started trashing millennials for eating it and spending so much money on it. It's a very bizarre chain of events.
I still have trouble spending the money for it though, it feels like it's against my religion 😂
your ideas are so awesome!! I wanna try all of them especially the hummus one and Japanese 😋😋 I have already tried the taco one and it's good indeed! but mine turned out a little heave for breakfast because I added ground meat to it
HAVE PHO for breakfast. Just try it. There are some easy recipes. You can make the easy or hard ones. Make the broth ahead and store it…Great on cold winter mornings.

When I was in China briefly, I loved having congee for breakfast. And it turns out it’s eaten in many variations and different names, all over Asia. Describing it as a westerner who didn’t grow up eating it… it’s like hot cereal and chicken soup had a delicious, savory, comforting, and filling baby. It’s often served topped with a drizzle of soy sauce, chopped green onions, chopped leftover meat and/or chopped boiled egg, sometimes pickles or seaweed, sesame seeds, sautéed onions or mushrooms, the possibilities are endless! And it’s so easy to make in a crockpot, and so tasty and filling.
Nasi Goreng: a classic Indonesian breakfast which is a fried rice seasoned with sweet soy sauce and topped with a fried egg.
Skip the sweet soy sauce
Mix raw egg with rice before cooking
Saute a few chilies garlics and red garlics. throw any meat and vegetables you want wait until its cooked and than the rice with raw egg add salt and pepper you also can add sweet sauce but I prefer the regular salty one with fish soy sauce and you're done

Korean breakfast is somewhat similar to Japanese breakfast, but includes kimchi, and I think rice porridge more commonly than steamed rice. Kimchi is so good.
Consider making your own strained yogurt (and making pickles with the whey) as part of your breakfast. You can leave ir plain or season it savory and it compliments humus or eggs or meat well, or you can chop fresh fruit and mix it in (a little dollop of honey takes the edge off its just too sour for you like this).
Tamago Kake Gohan is my favorite breakfast of all time. Doesn't even need salmon. Just the most basic of basic TKG with just rice, raw egg (with an extra yolk sometimes if I want something heavier), soy sauce, aonori, and a bit of bonito flakes. Some sesame seeds and togarashi spice too if I have them in stock.
Been having it for years and I still haven't gotten tired of it.
Sounds good.
Indian here. As you love rice you might find 'Idli' to be interesting, it is made of ground rice and it is steamed so very light yet fulfilling. It is had with 'chutney' which is ground coconut with chillies . Idli is bland in taste so chutney goes really well with it.
Another suggestion would be 'Poha' which is flattened rice. It is dry made with onion and chillies (key ingredients).
When I went to the USA, I was so surprised that EVERYTHING for some reasons was sweet, even the most basic food would have that sweet taste to it. In Colombia, my traditional breakfast is "arepa" (like a corn base) with eggs, fresh cheese and coffee.
theres sugar in everything here. it's why we're not only obese but sick and medicated. quite sad.
Ikr
@@matty6878 no no no no, not sugar! they use subsidised corn to make high fructose corn syrup because its cheaper than actual sugar.
@@babyuchiha4526 thats not how it works
Everything has corn syrup. Even our water has additives in it.
You need to incorporate some Indian delicacies into your breakfast routine. The subcontinent has so much to offer that it's hard to simply list down a few, but a few that come right off the bat would be poha (every state has their own version; I like mine that has a touch of Bengal and Maharashtra mixed), idli or dosa served with sambhar and chutneys, stuffed paratha (potatoes, paneer, eggs, chicken keema, etc.), roti and sabzi with a side of scrambled eggs or omelette, upma or some vermicelli noodles, poita/panta bhaat (overnight fermented rice in water) served with spicy mashed potatoes or even sundried and fermented mashed fish (shutki bhorta) or some good old luchi with aloor dum or chicken kosha. There are plenty more you could try, and I strongly recommend that you try these to begin with. There's so much the subcontinent has to offer that you'd never get bored of breakfast.
india has soo many breakfasts i can eat one every day of the month
I usually eat the Swedish breakfast I’m used to which is a sandwich crisp bread or toast with cheese and sausage/ham/caviar/liver pate/marmalade/vegetables depending on what you prefer for mix.
Together with that it’s usually either tea, coffee, juice or milk.
Then to add to that sour milk with some sort of cereal/musli/marmalade/fruit otherwise you can make oatmeal with milk/jam/apple sauce or powdered cinnamon.
"there's something about having rice..."
meanwhile southeast asians: rice every meal
Well its just a snack if there is no rice no matter how much you eat it lol
@@weebs4907 asian moms logic XD
unironically tho i havent eaten a breakfast without rice in like 2 years eggs and rice is the easiest breakfast of all time
it’s weird how psychologically ingrained it is in our diet
Rice is the main meal everything else is just flavor for rice
Breakfast Crisis:
Stage 1: Eat desserts for breakfast
Stage 2: Do not eat breakfast at all
Stage 3: Eat at least 5 breakfasts each day
I was going to like this, but then I saw there were 69 likes and thought: "Meh, I'll keep it there"
Salted butter on a slice of bread, dipped into hot coco or hot chocolate (I don't remember which is which). Feel free to eat as many of those tartines as you like, then finish your breakfast by drinking what's left of the beverage.
Im from the Philippines and seeing that you like hummus made me remember of the guinisang munggo, its essentially the same but exchange chickpea for mung bean and include more vegtables and pork. 10/10 recommend you try it.
Dutch breakfast: slice of bread, put slice of cheese on top. Done.
Or: Slice of bread, a little bit of butter and an enormous amount of 'hagelslag' on top. Ate this everyday as breakfast untill I was 14, still waiting for diabetes to kick in.
@@rebekkat3756 Yessss
@@rebekkat3756 As an american I never understood the hagelslag thing... like we know these as chocolate sprinkles that you put on cake and cookies. Also, chocopaste is the same as our chocolate cake frosting. It's delicious on bread but it's no better than eating a donut. I always liked the luikse siroop on my toast. That was my goto for years.
:D is this a joke? I Was thinking of making similar video with Dutch breakfast, do you have something more typical
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon haha legit, the two most popular breakfasts here are a slice of bread with butter and cheese on it, or a slice of bread with butter and hagelslag (chocolate sprinkles) on it
Asian American here, one of the things I/my family really likes to do is if we have any kind of decent savory leftovers (meat/vegetables) is to toss it into either noodles rice with sesame oil and make fried rice Jambalaya/noodles, or a soup.
Feels kinda like Korean style to me (I'm from Hong Kong)
mmmmmmm
Oh yes, that has been my breakfast most of the time growing up.
I was shocked to find out Americans eat doughnuts for breakfast.
Some American breakfast are great though, like a bagel with egg, cheese and bacon, how is that not good?
Tamago kake gohan has been my go-to lately, but the breakfast I've had more than any other, and will always love, is just simple scrambled eggs with toast.
Careful with bagels, though. Those can be just as unhealthy as doughnuts, especially depending on the toppings used for them.
@@animeotaku307 not a big deal even with toppings a bagel is just a type of bread even doughnuts arent too bad depending who makes them just watch out how many carbs and sugars you intake that's mostly the problem with American breakfast very carb heavy and processed with a lot of sugar for some reason people forget that things like protein is important. things here tend to have 4x the amount of sugar than they need to taste good and idk whos asking for all the sugar cause most people aren't triathlon runners that need so much energy. I blame the American food pyramid model
Tamago Gohan is one of my favorite staple meals! I know this is years late as a comment, but its cool to see someone else who likes the same "weird" breakfast I do. Alas, I can't eat hummus for breakfast (chickpeas do not agree with me) but I wholly agree, there's TONS of amazing varieties.
I am Korean and I am okay with throwing only the yolk part but the white part made it too slimy couldn't suck it up in my throat.
Try Punjabi breakfast:
- Aaloo Paratha (Potatoes stuffed inside wholewheat shallow fried bread)
- Naan Choley or Choley bhature (chickpeas with fried or baked bread)
Pav bhaji is Punjabi, right?
@@Haru-nee no bro! it is marathi. most famous bombay street food
It's also unhealthy
i eat stuff like that for lunch or dinner
Same in Haryana
I highly highly recommend you try South Indian breakfast foods like idli, dosa, sambhar, rasa, utthapam...they just happen to be vegetarian, gluten free, and fermented (so super good for you). Also they taste AMAZING.
Quick tip: NEVER have Dosa with Sambhar.
Mihir Mutalik Desai Nope. Dosa with sambhar is the best.
Yes definitely
OHMMMMMYYYYGODDDDD DOSA IS SO GOOD! ITS SO EASY AND HAS THE EXACT RATIO OF CRISPYNESS AND SOFT FLUFFY GOODNESS . its savoury and flavourful and every bite tastes good no matter how many times you've had dosa before. *NEVER GETS OLD*
true
My go to breakfasts:
In the winter time: Hot oatmeal with apple slices and cinnamon sugar and chopped almonds on top.
Summer time: neutral yogurt with fresh fruit, chopped nuts or granola and a light drizzle of maple sirup 🤗
I love having neutral yoghurt.. it doesnt bring arguement or contest conversation... doesnt add its political opinion
Indonesia has so many options when it comes to breakfast, but I recommend nasi pecel (veggies topped with peanut sauce, then you eat it with rice and protein of your choice), gado-gado (mixed veggies/salad topped with peanut sauce (lighter than the one used for pecel) and boiled eggs. Usually tempe and/or tahu is added), and bubur ayam (rice porridge topped with shredded chicken, sometimes fried bread, fried onions, and parsley)
Since you've discovered amazing breakfasts it's time to go for something a bit more depressing from Norway. One thing we love to do is having food traditions void of both spices and color. It's not good Norwegian food if you didn't dislike atleast a part of it.
The breakfast I'm gonna tell you about is called "Vassgraut" which simply means "Water Porridge". What you do is heat up 500ml of water, then stir in about 150ml of Barley Flour until it reaches desired level of thickness. You put it in a bowl and pour in a small amount of milk, then top it off with however much sugar you need to not cry from how sad your meal is.
I ran out of sugar
@@z0mb1e564 lol!
Not even milk 😕
And here i thought me with 2 pack of instant ramen for breakfast is depressing lmao
🤣🤣🤣 Man you killed me laughing
so cool to see how you juxtaposed the footage of how you first encountered each meal with how you make these meals in your home
I love all the savory breakfasts you mentioned! I want to try then. I'm used to eating breakfast tacos and I agree that they are divine. My all time fave non-American breakfast is Barbacoa tacos. Corn Tortillas filled with barbacoa, salsa, onions, and a squeeze of lime.
The most common European Breakfast :
Coffee and a cigarette
Light on carbs and calories
lmfao
and lesser burden on counting days of life too😄
Well fuck guess I'm European since that's like the only thing I eat....ever

Try Moroccan: Eggs, olive oil, black olives, goat cheese all accompanied by a homemade wholemeal bread and a steaming cup of mint tea .. then finish it all with an optional cup of freshly squeezed orange juice (no added sugar) .. Bon appetit!
Yeah but the sugar is in your tea isn’t? 😀
@@Esico6 well you don't have to drink tea with sugar, it's your choice
Moroccan food is literally the best on earth
Orange juice from Morocco is a life changer
This sounds delicious & is a great idea. I'm going to do it.
Here are some common breakfasts in Hong Kong and Guangdong province:
- rice porridge with pickled mustard greens
- chang fen (rice noodle roll) with soy sauce, some Chinese broccoli. there are different flavors of chang fen, my favorite is the one with bbq pork (cha siu).
- steamed pork buns, fresh sweet soybean milk, and sometimes a deep-fried youtiao.
I actually made strapatsada for myself this morning, which I believe is greek. I made mine with olive oil, garlic, grated tomato and scrambled egg, topped with feta and green onion. Very tasty and easy to make, definitely recommend!
yup its greek, i just had it today

Hey Johnny try the first two items and i can assure you will love it.
Parota or Paratha?
@@vikranttyagiRN down south, it's parota!
Something i used to eat as a kid in Norway, and still find amazing is smoked salmon, with scrambled eggs, a bit of thinly cut parsley, sesame seeds and butter.
That stuff is so damn good. Just having smoked salmon on whole grain bread is also good (used to have that with me for lunch at school). Swapping out the salmon with pepper mackerel is also really good.
I still eat all of that stuff on a semi-regular basis, and it's a great way to start the Day imo.
Til frokost???
@@cutieplushtrap oh, yes. Enten på et fat, eller på et stygge grovbrød (slik jeg foretrekker det. Men har aldri prøvd med persille og sesamfrø. Bruker gressløk istedenfor). Er en kjempegod start på dagen, og holder deg mett lenge.
@@ragnhildmd5063 åååå det virker så godt, har så lyst til å prøve aggsgghh hvis bare jeg gadd å stå opp tidlig lollll
@@cutieplushtrap hahaha, ser den. Er heldigvis ikke noe man trenger å stå opp tidlig for å lage. Evt kan du jo prøve det en dag du har god tid.

The best, most satisfying and energizing breakfast I've ever eaten where the ones I had in Japan. Grilled fish, rice, vegetables, pickles, egg, miso soup, and green tea.
Try a tunisian breakfast ! There is so much variety, these are just some of the things i can recall at the moment: olive oil with honey eating with baguette or mlewi, dro3 with halva, lablebi the ultimate fav in winter ...
Guatemalan breakfast:
•Coffee
•Black beans, eggs, tortillas with queso fresco
•Coffee
•Caffeine
•Espresso
•Did I mention coffee?
Same in El Salvador, but we change the tortillas for bread and eat hard cheese, too.
You had me at coffee
Another breakfast to add to the list
Ah an Hondureñens sibling. We eat the exact same. The black beans are refried though 🤤 and nothing like American refried beans.
@@Asal181 totally recommend! Oh, and I forgot to mention fried plantains with sugar and sour cream
I love having shakshuka for breakfast/brunch: a hearty tomato sauce (onion, garlic, maybe bell pepper, cumin seeds, maybe some chili and chopped tomatoes) that you stew for a little while and let it reduce in a big frying pan, and then you make little wells in it in which you crack some eggs. Lid on it and let the eggs cook (best is a runny yolk but the whites nice and firm). Serve with some pitta bread to soak up the sauce. You can also crumble some feta on top, maybe some cilantro... Go nuts!
Yesss shakshuka is my favorite!!! So good 😍
I've been eating the botched version of this for breakfast for a while. I just use store-bought pasta sauce and throw some eggs in it. Sometimes I get fancy and add some onion.
Shakshuka is honestly my favorite breakfast. There are Israeli restaurants both in my hometown and near my campus that make amazing shakshuka and it's honestly such a craving. I also had some when I was in Tel Aviv. I could honestly eat it for any meal.
Also prefacing because I know people will argue otherwise: I am aware that Shakshuka isn't just an Israeli food. It's of North African origin, but it's common in Israel because it was brought over by North African Sephardim. I am not sure to what extent it is common in Palestinian cuisine.
My favorite thing ever
I've always enjoyed bacon and eggs when I have the time and the occasional cereal bowl, but most of the time I did not eat breakfast.
A couple of years ago I discovered Gyeran bap (Egg over rice), which is the Korean equivalent of Tamago kake gohan. Similar, but the egg is a pristine sunny side up and you add sesame oil with the soy sauce. Will probably cook miso on Sundays starting now.
me, a Japanese in Japan making pancakes while watching this video 🤡
just a note: H Mart is normally referred to as a Korean-American supermarket, not Japanese, but they do stock products from the surrounding Asian cuisines like Japan and China. Anyways, glad you went to support your local Asian grocery store!
Hankook=Korea in Korean=H Mart
Hey Johnny, try the South Indian breakfast:
We eat Idli, Vada, Dosa, Uthapam and so on. Most of the South Indian breakfast recipes are healthy. Some recipes require some preparation like soaking rice and lentils for idli or dosa or uthapam.
Idli : A type of savoury rice cake which is made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented black lentils and rice.
Dosa : A dosa is a rice pancake, made from a fermented batter. It is somewhat similar to a crepe in appearance. Its main ingredients are rice and black gram, ground together in a fine, smooth batter with a dash of salt.
Uthapam : Is also a type of dosa, which is crisp and crepe like but thicker than dosa with different toppings. The lentils and rice are soaked overnight, ground and fermented until it rises. The batter is spread on a hot pan, generally circular, toppings spread on it and patted gently. Oil is dripped around it, flipped when it is golden-brown, oil dripped again, another flip to make sure the second surface is baked too.
Uttapam is traditionally made with toppings such as Tomatoes, Carrots, Onions, chilies, Bell peppers and cilantro
A fresh good homemade idli or dosa with chutney and some sambar is the way to go! Still miss the food my friend’s mom made for me! Restaurant’s idli just never worked for me.
Yes! I was going to comment South Indian breakfast! Thank you! 😁
Man I love idli, dosa and vada in breakfast.
One can eat it occasionally but not daily..
@@eramfatima7619 vada no, but idli and dosa etc yeah, as a South Indian it's common for me. Maybe for North Indians not so, it'd be like us eating Aloo Paratha or something daily.
this is a late comment: I just found your CZcams channel! Like to add here two of my favorite recipes from Turkish breakfast: first is menemen, also called as shakshuka by many of our neighbors. It is eggs scrambled in cooked tomatoes, bell peppers and sometimes onions, best to consume with sourdough imo. Second one is cilbir, a Turkish version of poached eggs, served over garlicky(or plain) Turkish (or Greek) yogurt, and topped with melted butter and paprika (cooked together). Our spread breakfast is what is most known from our breakfast cuisine, but to make it at home as meals, I would recommend these two!
It may be a bit late but I do love korean and japanese Breakfast too. For me it's not only the rice in the morning that is like a nice hug but the soup too. doesn't matter if it's spicy or mild I love it both ways. And hummus? boy with grilled veggies, pickles and nice sour dough bread? awsome. India has also some great breakfast ideas.
